INDUSTRY TRENDS
Promoting from Within
"Promoting internal employees allows businesses the opportunity to recognize someone for a job well done," states Bob Kustka, HR consultant. "And in the war for talent, it's one way to keep key employees while recruiting Millennials by letting them know that there is opportunity for advancement. By doing so, a company is selecting someone that is known and they have had the opportunity to observe over time, rather than recruiting someone externally and wondering whether they will fit the company's culture. However, it is not always as easy as it sounds and there are a number of mistakes that can occur. Companies need to remember to promote people not only on the basis of what they have accomplished in their current role, but their ability to have the right mix of skills for the new role."
